how to understand region?

[shaojun]

my beacon devices (from a local manufactor) are all have the same UUID, like fda50693-a4e2-4fb1-afcf-c6eb07647825, and this is my beaconparser:

beaconManager.getBeaconParsers().add(new BeaconParser().
                    setBeaconLayout("m:2-3=0215,i:4-19,i:20-21,i:22-23,p:24-24"));

And I'll have many beacons placed in a big mall, so what does the region mean here? does each beacon mapped to a region?

Hi, @shaojun. For questions on how to use this library, please post them to StackOverflow.com. This forum is reserved for feature requests and bug reports.

Here's a quick tip: You should think of a region as a matching expression for one or more beacons. A region, like a beacon, can be expressed with multiple identifiers. but a region allows you to set some of the identifiers to be blank. Any identifiers in a region left blank (null) will match all identifiers. So if you all of your beacon shave the same UUID (first identifier), specify that UUID in the region's first identifier and leave all the other identifiers null. That way, the region will match all beacons with that UUID regardless of the other identifier values.
